To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM A. KUHL-, MAN and GEORGE W. CARPENTER, citizens of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cover's for Stovepipe-Holes, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to covers for stovepipe-holes; and the object of the same is to construct a device of this character which will be efficient to cover a hole for a stovepipe when the pipe has been taken down.

The simple and novel construction of our device is described and claimed in this specification and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure l is a plan view of our device. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2 2.

The numeral 1 designates a dish-shaped disk having a rim 2 thereon adapted to snugly fit the surface of the wall adjacent to the Stovepipe-hole to which the cover is applied. Means for holding the cover 1 in place isprovided in the shape of curved resilient loops 3. The loops 3 are formed of a single piece of resilient wire passing diagonally through two pair of double keepers 5. The keepers 5 are formed by cutting parallel slits 5 in the metal and bending up the strips thus formed. The

and hold the cover securely in place.

We do not wish to be limited as to details of construction, as these may be modified in many particulars without departing from the spirit of our invention.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters WILLIAM .A. KUHLMAN. GEORGE W. CARPENTER.
